I'm with ya dbone. I have a 216 in my '51 and intend to stay with it. I live in Norfolk VA where the humidity is usually as high as the temp. You need AC here just to be able to breath when at a stop light. I sent an E-mail to the vintage air folks about the 216 and got no reply. I have asked on other forums and have gotten no reply. I am just gonna do it. I'll let you know if it works.
